Ryan Reynolds is Cast as "The Green Lantern"

From worstpreviews, We just reported how Warner Bros has narrowed down their choices to Ryan Reynolds, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Bradley Cooper to star in the upcoming "Green Lantern" film. And now, THR has learned that Reynolds is the studio's top choice and final negotiations are currently taking place.

If the deal is completed, it would make Reynolds the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel and DC. He recently starred in a comic book movie, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," where he played Deadpool. The character is now being developed for a spin-off to which Reynolds is attached. He also played Marvel's vampire hunter Hannibal King in "Blade: Trinity."

"Lantern" is actually Reynold's second stab at a DC Comics hero. A few years ago, he was attached to play the comic company's speedster "The Flash."
